he lost to john mccain that year. but that year, 2008, also was not john mccain's first effort at winning the republican presidential nomination. he had run before as well. he had run in the year 2000, when he lost to george w. bush. and while that john mccain campaign and his loss that year has mostly been remembered for the egregiously racist dirty tricks played against john mccain in the south carolina primary that year, that's mostly what we think of when we think of him losing to george w. bush that year, now what is starting to become the more salient thing about that losing run, about that losing attempt at winning the republican presidential nomination, what seems more salient now is who john mccain's national co-chair was for that run. it was republican senator chuck hagel. there he is. you can see him in the little circle on the left there. with john mccain's entourage as john mccain was getting ready to launch his presidential bid back in 2000. this is the same chuck hagel who is president obama's nominee f

. >> for senator john mccain, immigration reform had been a priority. and then he was against it. and now he is for it again. some modern figures in the republican party are associated with immigration reform, people like former president george w. bush and his brother, jeb bush, former republican party chairman mel martinez, who last night i described as the former florida state republican party chairman. he was the national chairman. i'm sorry for that. he is a former florida senator. so some of these guys are associated throughout their careers with immigration reform. but the rest of the party, the current elected officials in the party are just whipsawing around on the issue wildly, taking wildly different and directly contradictory responses from election cycle to election cycle. as republicans, i think, try to decide if the upward creeping percentage of latinos in the american electorate is something they're going to use to stoke their base's fear of a brown planet, or whether it's something they're going to use to try to inspire themselves to reconceive of who their base o

you might remember in 2007 it was john mccain with the support of the chairman senator who went on to be chairman of the republican party, mel martinez, all supporting a comprehensive immigration proposal, much like this one today, that never went anywhere that year. by the time john mccain was running for president the year after, he said actually he would vote down his own bill. >> at this point, if your original proposal came to a vote on the senate floor, would you vote for it? >> it won't. it won't. that's why we went through the debate. no, i would not, because we know what the situation is today. that people want the border secured first. >> john mccain in 2008, running against his own immigration position from 2007. in order to try to get his party's nomination for the presidency that year. in order to win his party's presidential nomination this past year, mitt romney was the champion of self-deportation. remember, he said he would veto the dream act, and he brought on the guy who wrote the "papers, please" law in arizona as his immigration adviser. the republican party's own

in any case, the election to pick a full-time nonplace holder replacement for john kerry in the senate now has a date. it will be on june 25th in massachusetts. but massachusetts may find itself voting on that seat before then. and that's because we're told to expect that tomorrow conservative democratic congressman stephen lynch, who you see on the right side of the screen there, who voted against obama care and who is anti-abortion, stephen lynch is going to announce that he too is going to run for the seat as a democratic against the already declared progressive candidate congressman ed markey. if he does run against ed markey, there does have to be a primary. the primary will take place on april 30th. interesting question, right? would a primary for that seat help the democrats' chances of sending another democrat to serve alongside elizabeth warren in the senate, or would it hurt the chances? and who would have a better chance at winning, ed markey or stephen lynch? on the republican sid of things, there is still no word as to whether or not this guy on the right here intends to r
